The offer may have been tongue-in-cheek, but it is interesting that Putin, who seems to have a good relationship with President Donald Trump, offered to shield Comey from prosecution at home.

Trump has repeatedly mentioned his distaste for leaks and speculated Comey illegally shared information about their meetings.

But some law experts say Comey did nothing wrong. Because Comey only released information about his impression of those meetings and not any government documents, he probably won't have to move to Moscow anytime soon.
